This January we are beginning our winter discipleship series called “Justice For All” which is an exploration of the Book of Amos. Amos was a Hebrew prophet in the 8th century BCE (around 2700 years ago!) and yet his message is as relevant as ever today. He challenges humanity in general (and people who claim to be religious in particular) about injustice and inequity in society, laying down a passionate (and frequently very uncomfortable) challenge to do something about it.

This Christmas season we want to capture the wonder, hope and joy of the miracle of the incarnation. The birth of Christ is great news for humanity! The presence of God in the world is a gift that brings light into darkness and life from death. Christmas is a time where we can celebrate these things with joy and fervor. It’s also a time where we acknowledge our pain and loss and where we look after and comfort one another. It’s a time where we seek peace and look to the hope of new life.

During November we will be focusing on the theme of Hope in a series called “Stories of Hope” in which a number of people in our church community will be sharing stories about their own experiences. In the Kingdom of God there is always hope; not a naïve “wishful thinking” that every cloud has a silver lining; but a resolute refusal to give up, a commitment to stand for what is good, and tireless pursuit of love and beauty. We’ll explore hope as a way of life and see Jesus as one who calls us to hope even in the most impossible circumstances.
